Recently I came across a number of public buildings that Invite the public to climb on them ….
Pyramid El Castillo in Chichen Itzan Mexico was built between 9th and 12th centuries by the pre-Colombian Maya ,and is designed to allow the public to get on it….
Maybe El Castillo pyramid was the source of inspiration for some recent designed buildings….
